I was pretty surprised ngl

 

[IUSAMD]

II September, DD October. No update in my portal. Idk if that’s good or they are sending R in waves… shocked people are hearing today 😳

 

[mcattooeasy]

I mean on their website it says: On May 1st, all applicants with a Delayed Decision status will be placed on our formal waitlist.

It doesn't say anything about R's.

 

[INeed_aVaca]

Can family attend second look day for Chicago? Sorry if this has been asked before!

I guess they really didn’t like me lol

 

[SquirrellyScholar]

IS R for 10/24 interview day. Well. That's crushing

 

[yma106]

I wonder when they’re gonna reject us who are pre-ii if they’re this cutthroat to the interviewed applicants

Similar situation as you rn ( haven’t sent any updates and probably won’t)

 

[sm888]

Does UICOM accept letters of intent?

 

[Chocolate1857]

Wait people on DD got rejected last week!? I thought we were safe to at least make it to the WL in May?

We all thought

 

[Feeny]

Just withdrew my A! Hope it goes to one of you folks. It also came with a scholarship, so fingers crossed that goes to one of y'all as well.

Best of luck everyone!

 

[sm888]

Just got offered a spot on the waitlist.

 

[mintchocchip]

Also got offered a spot on the waitlist - have been on DD since October and was hoping for a decision this week but guess we have some more waiting in store!

[skhudeira99]

Also offered spot on waitlist. DD since January. Does this mean no possibility for a decision on Friday?

 

[mmk2032]

Anybody know waitlist movement here?

 

[Squalene]

[sm888]

I'm not positive but I think it's pretty significant! Just based on the fact that there seems to be a pretty high post-II acceptance rate and that includes waitlist acceptances.

[IUSAMD]

Do we have to accept the WL spot or are we accepting it unless telling them otherwise?

 

[one_masterpiece]

Pre-II R, OOS, complete August

 

[docbrownbear]

OOS pre-ii R

 

[2324applicant]

Waitlist 🙁

 

[Student2000!]

finally OOS pre-ii R, last school

 

[2324applicant]

How do you know the acceptance rate includes waitlist? Did they mention this during interview day?

 

[Username88]

Waitlisted as of today. Interviewed 10/16, DD late November

 

[2324applicant]

Also offered spot on waitlist. DD since January. Does this mean no possibility for a decision on Friday?

Probably depends if people withdraw their As between now and then? Otherwise I feel like they would’ve just waited to send WL decisions? idk everything is thrown out the window this cycle, hoping the WL is smaller since a few people have already gotten post-II Rs

 

[Username88]

This got asked when I interviewed. Yes, it includes waitlist

 

[Chocolate1857]

I don’t think we have to based on the phrasing of the email - will check the portal when I get home to see if there’s anything there.

Had a panic attack getting that email after all the DD rejections last week combined with upcoming decisions this week. Anxiety parkour.

Yeah, I guess doesn't look like it requires any action to accept. Weird the way they worded it kind of made it sound like an "offer" that needs to be accepted. *shrug*

 

[mylittlerowboat]

pre-II OOS R today!

 

[pbnj1448]

Just withdrew my A! Good luck to everyone on the waitlist

[pbnj1448]

Haha just trying to open up some spots for waitlisted folks. I'm currently waiting for/negotiating aid so I've narrowed it down to 5 (Hopkins, Pritzker, Northwestern, Colorado, and Michigan) but haven't committed yet.

My guess is that they started to see more people pulling their As before yesterday's deadline and decided to send WL decisions. However, I wonder if they will still meet this Thursday, as the website says they will meet until the end of April. Hopefully movement starts sooner then.

This makes sense except when you take into account they started rejecting people last week from DD. If there’s more withdrawn As than what they were expecting, why would they reduce the number of WL spots? You think they’d keep a full WL if, lets say, 40% of the seats aren’t filled yet. But if it’s closer to say 20% of seats unfilled, then trimming the WL makes more sense, no?

I feel like a round of decisions on Friday/early next week is still in play, but who knows at this point given how this cycle has differed from previous years.

Just withdrew my acceptance from UIC Peoria today. Hoping it goes to one of yall <3
